英格兰vs美国谁会赢？ survey: parachute research

26 january 2022

in october 2021, microbial genomics published an editorial discussing parachute research and the barriers lmic researchers face.

parachute research (a.k.a. helicopter research) is a commonly used term describing the practice of researchers from the wealthy global north conducting primary research within a host country, often a developing country, and subsequently publishing findings without adequate recognition, credit, or engagement of local researchers, staff and/or the supporting infrastructure.

the 英格兰vs美国谁会赢？ has launched a survey to gain insights from the microbiological community with regards to parachute research and how the 英格兰vs美国谁会赢？ can prevent the publication and dissemination of research employing these practices.

“we want to counteract parachute research in lmic and indigenous communities and make our society a welcoming and fair place for all.  whilst we make every effort to consider different researchers’ situations, we believe one of the most important things we can do is to pass on the mic and listen to what the ones we are trying to support have to say. please take this opportunity to give us your thoughts on how we can make the society an inclusive and supporting environment for everyone.”
